This is a set of educational modules intended as a self-study curriculum for MCH professionals in the area of infant feeding and assessment.  They were developed through a partnership between the Arizona Department of Health Services and The University of Tennessee at Knoxville.  The project was partially supported by the United States Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration, Maternal and Child Health Bureau through grant #T79 MC 00004.

The modules were developed by a Master’s level public health nutrition trainee at The University of Tennessee as part of a seven-week block field experience project. Development occurred at and with support from the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) Office of Chronic Disease Prevention and Nutrition Services, with special assistance from:  

Lee Renda
Team Leader, Maternal Child Health Nutritionists
Arizona Department of Health Services

Margaret Tate, MS, RD
Chief of the Office of Chronic Disease Prevention and Nutrition Services
 Arizona Department of Health Services

Amanda Watkins, MS, RD, CLC
Education Program Specialist for Children with Special Health Care Needs
Arizona Department of Health Services

The modules were intended as a tool to be used by ADHS for training of state employees. Following the block field experience, it was determined that the modules would be of benefit to a larger audience. The curriculum was reviewed for content validity by an expert panel and prepared for web-based distribution.
